Epub Converter

A Node.js script for converting PDF files to EPUB format using the ebook-convert tool from Calibre.

Installation

Before using this script, you need to have the ebook-convert tool installed on your machine. You can download the latest version of Calibre, which includes the ebook-convert tool, from the Calibre website.

Once you have ebook-convert installed, you can install this script using npm:

npm install -g epubconverter

CLI Usage

After installation, you can use the epubconverter command from the terminal to convert PDF files to EPUB format.

Example

epubconverter --target="./path/to/pdf/files" --output="./path/to/output/directory"

Options

• --target (required): The path to the directory containing the PDF files you want to convert.
• --output (optional): The path to the output directory where the converted EPUB files will be saved. If not specified, the converted files will be saved in the target directory.

Examples

epubconverter --target="./pdfs" --output="./epubs"

This will convert all the PDF files in the ./pdfs directory and save the resulting EPUB files in the ./epubs directory

Programmatic Usage

You can also use this script programmatically in your Node.js projects.

const EpubConverter = require('epubconverter');
const converter = new EpubConverter(
  '/path/to/pdf/files',
  '/path/to/output/directory',
);

// convert all the PDF files in the target directory to EPUB format
converter.convert().finally(() => {
  console.log('All done!');
});

The convert method returns a Promise that resolves when all the conversions have completed.
